It looks like it will take someone on the staff resetting something. The Cricket graphs have gone south.

Likely won't happen. In the morning, everything goes offline for two days. I guess it's a way of "ramping down" before the outage.

Also, I don't know if you knew about this, but some time back (year+), Boincstats changed some things around and you have someone else's stats in your signature. You should head back over to boincstats and get the updated code for that.

With the air conditioning change over, plus other maintenance, plus dealing with what is likely to be a rather large backlog, plus trying to troubleshoot whatever problem is troubling at the moment, seems like we can expect that the collective dust won't settle until the end of the coming week.

This has got to be the worst traffic jam in a long time. Even after the previous outages (expected & not) downloads would generally complete, even if it took a while. After this outage it's taking lots of retries & Network activity suspended then Network activity available again just to get things to download.
They start off ok at 5-10kB/s, then just slow down after 5-10 seconds & stall. Add to that lots of Scheduler timeouts & HTTP service not available & i think it's going to take a fair while for things to settle down.

EDIT- the downloads are no longer stalling, now it's taking several minutes for data to start downloading after the download technically started. Then after 5-15 min it will then time out after sporradically downloading.

I have my max of 100 tasks,
Stuck in download limbo, Grrrrrr.
and 54 of them are partly downloaded and impossible to move,
I wonder if all these partial downloads that we all have help jam the system up in any way ?

I'm wondering if the network is using some type of traffic shaping. I've noticed that usually when downloads start, there is a burst of download speed then after 10-15 seconds it comes down to a crawl and may stop entirely. I would really like to know why download traffic is so ragged in response. I understand the network is very congested with excessive demand, but downloads coming to a complete stop and then timing out are very frustrating - even a download of 1k/second would let you know that the network is still alive.
